mailto.conf

The /etc/cups/mailto.conf file contains several directives that defines the local mail server and email notification preferences for CUPS. Each directive is listed on a line by itself followed by its value. Comments are introduced using the number sign ("#") character at the beginning of a line.

Cc

Examples

Cc bigbrother@domain.com
Cc John Doe <jd@domain.com>

Description

The Cc directive specifies an additional recipient ("carbon copy") for all email notifications. The default is to not send a copy to anyone but the subscriber.

From

Examples

From printserver@domain.com
From Your Happy Printer <printserver@domain.com>

Description

The From directive specifies the sender of email notifications. The default is the ServerAdmin address defined in the cupsd.conf file.

Sendmail

Examples

Sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail
Sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail -bm -i

Description

The Sendmail directive specifies the command to run to deliver an email locally. This directive cannot be used with the SMTPServer directive, and if both Sendmail and SMTPServer lines appear in the mailto.conf file, only the last line is used. The default is /usr/sbin/sendmail.

SMTPServer

Examples

SMTPServer mail.domain.com
SMTPServer 192.168.2.1

Description

The SMTPServer directive specifies a hostname or IP address of a (possibly remote) SMTP mail server. This directive cannot be used with the Sendmail directive, and if both Sendmail and SMTPServer lines appear in the mailto.conf file, only the last line is used. The default is to use the Sendmail command instead.

Subject

Examples

Subject [CUPS]
Subject URGENT EMAIL NOTIFICATION

The Subject directive specifies a prefix string to add to the subject of each email notification. The default is to not add a prefix string.
